    Decorating With Flowers Farmhouse Style

    Published by Pam Kessler | 554 words. · About 3 minutes to read this article. - 14 Comments

    Can you believe it's time for Farmhouse Friday already? Another month has just flown on by.

    This month we're talking about decorating with flowers in our homes, so I'm showing you a few of the vignettes I have around the house that use live flowers.

    And don't think I'm being extravagant or anything (you all know I'm cheap), none of the flowers I am showing you cost more than $1 at the grocery store. I stalk that clearance flower section like it's my job!

    If we're talking flowers in our homes, we must includes tulips this time of year. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

    This tulip/thermos/globe vignette sets on my end table in the living room.

    I put these tulips in a regular glass vase and then slid that vase inside of the galvanized bucket. I didn't trust the maple syrup sap bucket to hold water securely on its own.

    Which now that I think about it is sort of silly, since it used to hold sap just fine and dandy.

    If I would have been thinking, I would have had Holland pointing toward us in the photo instead of China. THAT would make much more sense.

    See my tips on Making Tulips Last Longer if you are like me and never knew why my tulips would be slumped over 24 hours after I bought them. Problem has been solved!

    This next vignette sets in my kitchen on my vintage baker's cabinet.

    I'm a sucker for primroses, because they're bright, cheerful and so full of life. It's almost as if they don't know they'll be dead within the month.

    Seriously, caring for primroses isn't that hard as I discussed in Caring For A Primrose, but I just lose interest in them after a few weeks of prettiness.

    I put my victims primroses in an old wooden drawer that long ago lost its dresser and added a hand rake and a peat pot with a birds nest.

    And some very rustic (or should we say borderline tacky) cement ducklings I found at an estate sale finish off the display.

    The painting on them is very messy and not even, so not sure what's up with that, but I sort of liked their disheveled look.

    This extremely simple farmhouse vignette is in my entryway. It's my favorite vignette and took all of 4 minutes to put together.

    Oh my Heavens, I love me some alstroemeria.

    Even though I buy it out of the $1.00 clearance tubs at my local grocery store, they still last for well over a week. Who knows how long they'd last if I'd spring for them at regular price!

    I just threw some of the alstroemeria in an old white ironstone vase and added a pinwheel that I made a few years ago (it's made from scrapbook paper).

    And then put some doorknobs into a white Hull planter I found at a yard sale.

    This is close to the front door, so I thought doorknobs sort of made sense.

    Easy as can be, but makes me smile every time I walk by.

      I love the primrose vignette. Those little duckies and the old drawer, hand fork, and peat pot are such wonderful accents. You've done a great job with your fresh flowers. I never see any "$1.00 pots or stems" at our local stores.

      If you can keep the primrose alive for another month or so (doesn't have to look pretty - just alive), you can plant it in the ground in a shaded area (or morning sun only) and they will come back every year here in Ohio. Very easy perennial and they like cool weather. Fun to look for them in the spring when the snow melts. Home Depot usually has them in January and sometimes February for 89 cents. Love your display with them!

        I'm going to hold you to that Arlene 🙂 I'll try to stick them in the ground in a few weeks and see if they make it.

      Love your cement ducks, Pam! Primroses are a great flower to bring inside. They're so inexpensive and so brightly colored!

      I love your disheveled ducklings! I too am a sucker for the primroses, especially since they were only 99 cents this week at my local grocery store. Thanks for the tips on caring for them.

      Beautiful! The photo with the primroses, gardening goodies, and the little ducklings is just "spring" to me! Smiling!

      The ducks and the primroses with the garden tool are making me crave Spring today. So cute! And I just love the plaid thermos vignette.

      So many fun flower vignettes. Now, that we have another foot of snow on the ground again, I'm definitely going to be hitting up the grocery store for some fresh flowers.

      PS> I might actual use my thermos collection this weekend at the Aframe when we do some snowshoeing.

      The photos of your fresh flowers are amazing, Pam! I absolutely love tulips and you've inspired me to dig out my faux tulips (I know for a fact that I couldn't find fresh tulips in our little town if my life depended on it.) Love the sweet little arrangement with the chicks, too. peep peep

      Your arrangements are so pretty, Pam! And I happen to love those borderline tacky duckies! Off to check out your tips for making tulips last longer. I stopped buying them because they always drooped.
